Chapter Eighty-Four: The Final Ending

Only one sentence shattered all the illusions that Chen Yanzhi had constructed, and the whole person was like draining all the angry dead things, and his lips were limp and wriggled and could not make a sound again.

As the saying goes, if you don't do it, you won't die, this sentence has a bit of an intriguing meaning, and it couldn't be more appropriate for Chen Yanzhi's body. The ministers listened to the emperor's obvious words, and suddenly guessed more possibilities, the most important thing is that the jade seal was not lost and was safe and sound in the hands of the emperor, and this qiē was just a trap set by the emperor in advance, just for this shocking drama tonight.

The ministers who understood this, including the eldest prince Mu Zhao, felt a chill in their hearts, and they couldn't help but shiver, the emperor said that he was sick before, maybe he set up a situation at that time, and he was waiting for people who didn't have long eyes to jump in. lamented that Chen Yanzhi's fate was so sad, they all said that people are old and fine, Chen Yanzhi is not a hairy boy, why doesn't he grow snacks, this rhythm of death is proper.

The second prince is too, he has no brains, he has to fill his head, and he put on a smug grandfather Chen who is above the top, and the two stupid hats get together, and there is really no Zhuge Kongming. In just one night, the building will be full of wealth and valuation. Unfortunately, these two words are not enough to describe the situation at this time.

It's really not that the ministers are belittling the second prince and Chen Yanzhi, but in fact, the facts are in front of them more than words. Either you have to find a smart and city government to find a backer, or you can one day pit your subordinates with their own people, and in the end there is no one to collect the corpse, how miserable do you say this is.

The courtiers and officials are imaginative, imagining the few earth-shattering events that the two princes and their faction have done so far, and want to analyze the internal and external causes in detail, but don't step into the footsteps of the two princes and the party, how unjust it must be.

"Chen Yanzhi connived at the murder, and the crime of stealing the jade seal is unforgivable, and the nine clans will be punished in accordance with the criminal law." What Mu Haoyu couldn't bear the most was that his officials were eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, and they could take everything out of the place. Take the money I gave to help your grandson get the throne, and killing the nine clans is cheap for the Chen family.

The lifeless Chen Yan was completely indifferent, but when the emperor gave an order, the whole person was as indifferent as a fool and expressionless.

Chen Yanzhi was dragged out by the guards and put in the prison of the Criminal Department. After all the officials of the two princes and the party were reviewed, they were pulled to the entrance of the vegetable market to ask for beheading.

"The daughter of the Chen family, Concubine Chen, has no way to teach her son, arrogantly and arrogantly despises the Holy Hearing, and gives Bai Aya a piece of this remnant life, and after death, the body will be cremated and cannot be entered into the imperial tomb." Mu Haoyu hated Concubine Chen so much that he wanted to turn Concubine Chen, who was married for a hundred days, into a lonely ghost.

This time, the ministers already had the ability to bear it in their hearts, and at the same time, they also thought of the fact that Concubine Chen could not live alone, and did not make a fuss.

After everything that should be disposed of, shouldn't we talk about who the young man in white is in front of him, because Hugh can stand by the emperor's side with this honor? The emperor will not let the young man come here to make soy sauce. Still holding back and not saying anything, I want the minister to play a guessing game, it's not funny at all, really, after the shock just now, how can the courtiers still have the ability to laugh.

Mu Haoyu could see at a glance the undisguised caution of the courtiers below. How could it be that as they wished, the serious matter had not yet been dealt with, and the others should be put aside in advance. His gaze turned to Mu Zhao, the eldest prince who stood respectfully and bowed his head, and his eyes were full of scrutiny and distrust.

Mu Zhao inadvertently raised his eyes and bumped into his father's scorching gaze, and subconsciously retreated, not daring to look directly, knowing that doing so would undoubtedly show his weak side. But he just couldn't control his instinctive avoidance.

At the moment, the ministers who watched a big show suddenly found that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, and raised their eyes to peep, it didn't matter if they saw it, it scared the officials of the eldest prince's faction, and the emperor's eyes were clearly suspicious of the eldest prince.

How can this be good, once the emperor decides that the eldest prince has ambitions for the throne. After the incident of the second prince devouring his father, the emperor will not listen to the statement of the eldest prince to prove his innocence, the emperor's mind is the most unpredictable, and the throne has always been the key string that the superior cannot touch, and the emperor is very likely to act according to his own ideas. As the saying goes, it's better to kill by mistake than to let go, that's the reason.

Mu Zhao was stared at in a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to really stand up to prove his innocence, that kind of easy behavior is not self-confession, he thinks that he has no intention of the throne, and the emperor will not believe it no matter how true you say it. And silence is not a good strategy, the emperor will think that he is a temporary weakness of heart, dare not admit that he wants to use silent words to escape the problem, no matter what you do or say, it will not really eliminate the emperor's vigilance, it is really a dilemma.

For a while, the hall was silent, and the ministers were even more frightened, for fear that a little noise would alarm the emperor.

"Mu Zhao, don't let me down." After a while, Mu Haoyu opened his mouth lightly, and glanced at Mu Zhao, who was afraid to speak, meaningfully.

"Yes, Erchen understands." Mu Zhao subconsciously came out to thank him, and only after standing up did he suddenly understand what he had promised just now.

Mu Haoyu retracted the gaze projected on Mu Zhao, and turned to another matter: "When Mu Rong was assassinated, the county lord of Zunyi saved me from danger, and this heart should be a show. ”

When the emperor opened his mouth, the ministers instantly realized that it was not a teenager but the famous county lord of Zunyi, and he really couldn't see that it was a girl at all.

Some ministers noticed that the meaning of the emperor's previous speech was not clear, just a simple statement that the lord of Zunyi County saved the emperor, but did not say how to save it, and more importantly, the lord of Zunyi County did not show up for a long time, and now the night dew is deeper and deeper in the palace, and how he entered the Longhua Palace to save the driver, this series of questions cannot be answered. You can't even ask the emperor now, that's the rhythm of looking for death, don't you see that the emperor's anger has not subsided, and you are in a hurry to reincarnate.

Some ministers couldn't help but recall those seemingly nonsense rumors, could it be that the reason why the lord of Zunyi County did not show up for a long time was because he lived in the palace, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was not right, it had been more than a year for such a long time, how could there be no news that came out of the palace, the emperor has never had an impermeable wall in this place, and the means of the harem concubines are absolutely impossible to know nothing about the eight winds.

Then the place where the lord of Zunyi lived after entering the palace became suspicious, and more importantly, how could the emperor let the lord of Zunyi enter and leave the Longhua Palace. It was the emperor's bedroom, and even the deceased queen mother had not been able to enter the Longhua Palace even once, let alone other concubines.

No matter how much you pamper you, this is also crossing the line. Some ministers unconsciously thought about the immodest place, could it be that the emperor would respect the lord of the county, and the underage girl was particularly annoying?

No, all the people present are human spirits, there is no idea, just observing the appearance of the county lord of Zunyi is beautiful, it is indeed a figure that is not inferior to a man, of course, this is judged from the appearance, the inside is not still a daughter, even if the men's clothes on the body are dressed similarly, they can't change the established facts.

The appearance of the lord of Zunyi, the ministers really dare not compliment. A cold beauty, coupled with the appearance of a silly boy, is reluctant to approach just by looking at it, let alone the delicate and feminine posture of her daughter's family, there is no one at all. Just say, which man is interested in a cold-faced boy? Unless some people are born with such quirks, the average person still likes gentle and virtuous beautiful girls, and the occasional momentary indulgence is nothing.

Mu Haoyu let the ministers speculate wildly, without the intention of explaining out loud, and his purpose was only one, to dispel those who wanted to take advantage, especially the big families in the name of marriage.

A marriage that people don't worry about. In the future, he can do what he wants to do more freely, Mu Haoyu's heart is biased, even if he also values the youngest son Mu Jinming, he is much more attentive than Mu Jinming, fortunately, he taught his brothers and sisters to be friendly and love together, so Mu Jinming will not be resentful because of his partiality. This is very important.

"Excessive punishment. Meritorious service deserves a reward. As soon as Mu Haoyu spoke, the minister below suddenly quieted down, "I should reward the county lord for his bravery and fearlessness." ”

The courtiers secretly slandered themselves in their hearts, the emperor's favor for the lord of Zunyi is obvious to all, if anyone dares to say a word, it is definitely not going to get along with the emperor. It's purely the rhythm of looking for death, so the ministers are very aware of the current affairs, and they all nodded in agreement, without the slightest objection. How dare you.

"I can't think of a suitable reward for a while, so I'll put it aside for now, and I'll decide tomorrow morning." Mu Haoyu reminded the minister first, don't drop his jaw in shock, and open his mouth wide like a frog, which is too unsightly.

The emperor is going to reward as many good things as he can't make up his mind, and he will leave it to tomorrow morning, some officials can't help but feel sour water in their hearts, and their eyes can't help but look in the direction of Ouyang Ye, this has to be how much virtue has been accumulated in the previous life, and only in this life can there be such a daughter who has won the favor of the saint, and it is impossible not to be envious and jealous.

Ouyang Ye was disturbed by the strange glances cast by his colleagues from time to time. He doesn't know anything, if he knows, if he knows, he has no right to ask, he is just a decoration, the lord of Zunyi doesn't take his father seriously at all, even if it's nominally, it's good that everyone outside doesn't know the inside story, even if he is doing a show, he is really the first aggrieved. If you have no place to complain, you can only bury it in the bottom of your heart, and it will be uncomfortable.

"One more thing." Mu Haoyu thought of the approaching Chunqiu, and said: "There are almost seven more days before the Chunqiu." ”

When it came to this matter, the ministers were full of bitterness, and they thought that the emperor was so angry that he had forgotten such a big thing as Chunqiu. How many students are waiting, the imperial order has not been issued, and how many people are anxious, is this to do it or not?

The ministers were sad, restrained their thoughts, and put all their thoughts on what the emperor was going to say next, which was related to the career of the heirs of the family, and it was more important than the things on the side, and they all pricked up their ears to listen.

"I haven't recovered yet, and spring is coming, so I can't give a hasty order." Mu Haoyu has already made plans, "I have decided to postpone the Spring Festival until next year. ”

As soon as the words came out, the ministers were in an uproar, and the spring festival was about to be postponed again, this was not the first time, and the ministers had their own thoughts in their hearts, which came out at this moment.

"This time the spring festival was postponed, and the autumn festival was held as usual." Mu Haoyu doesn't care what the ministers below think, "After the autumn festival, those who are on the list will participate in next year's spring festival with the same person this year. ”

In this way, the number of people will increase by as much as half, of course, there are advantages and disadvantages, the advantage is that the students who have postponed the spring this year can set aside a whole year to study the four books wholeheartedly, and the disadvantage is that the increase in the number of people will add more pressure to whether they can be on the list.

Mu Haoyu symbolically coughed a few times to show that his dragon body was not safe, and it was reasonable to do so.

The ministers stopped talking, and the opposition was not absent, but it was very few, and judging from the number of obedience, it was a foregone conclusion and there was no need to discuss it again.

It was late at night, the emperor's body was already exhausted, the ministers did not ask again, and they bowed and retired, so that they could go back to sleep peacefully.

The county lord of Zunyi did not follow Ouyang Ye back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but stayed in the palace, Ouyang Ye didn't ask and couldn't care, so he had to be carried back to the house by the soft sedan chair, although he was lying on the soft sedan chair and didn't need to move, it was much better than the colleagues who were standing, but he also suffered a lot of fright, compared to the colleagues who were able to walk out of the palace at this time, they were more tolerant than himself.

When some officials saw Ouyang Ye who was carried out of the palace alone, they were surprised for a moment that the county lord of Zunyi was not accompanied by him, and it was obvious whether the emperor had left him in the palace, whether he had been staying in the palace for a long time, or just this once, it was unknown. Now is not the time to discuss this, it is important to hurry back to the house. Otherwise, he really couldn't walk, but no one carried him out of the palace.

Although most of the ministers were curious, none of them dared to come forward to ask, the lord of Zunyi County is now an extremely sensitive topic, if one does not anger the emperor, his life will be gone, and no one has the courage to find the emperor's bad luck.

The lord of Zunyi was left in the palace, and since tonight it has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and has become a secret that cannot be mentioned but is well known, until the new emperor ascends the throne, there is still no minister who makes a fuss about it.

In the harem, Concubine Chen was sleeping peacefully, but she was suddenly broken in by a group of people, pulled herself out of the warm quilt, and let Concubine Chen shout and struggle to no avail, without knowing the inside story, she was pressed on the chair by the guards, and a white silk ended her life, and she was miserable by her own father and son, and she didn't even have a chance to be a ghost, which was really miserable.

As Concubine Chen's confidant palace maid Layue did not escape the catastrophe, even in the Zhaohe Palace where Concubine Chen was, all the palace people failed to escape, after this night, the chickens and dogs in the palace jumped, the guards took people one by one to fill the medicine, strangled to death, and the palace was silent after a short time, leaving only a pair of dead eyes.

If the master makes a mistake, he cannot be pardoned, and the slave who follows the master has no need to live, this is the rule in the palace, to accompany the funeral of the guilty concubine. The life of a slave is as cheap as a mustard, worse than an animal.
